{{Sketchbook}}

The '''Sketchbook''' is a collection of conceptual art and sketches by [[The Brothers Chaps]]. These are found by clicking on the ''S'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated on Thursdays. Here is a list of all the sketches from 2006.

If you press the "s" button rapidly, the caption of the sketch will move up the box. The more times you press it, the further the text will move.

''As of November 22, 2004, the [[HR:weeklies/sketchbook_pic.jpg|image]] and [[HR:weeklies/weeklies.xml|text]] are no longer part of the [[HR:sketchbook.swf|Flash file]].''

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}} (Easter egg), {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' June 2, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:19

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, ''{accidentally types "stongbad_email.exe"}'' and I'll watch you do a little bit o'—

''{The screen reads "File Not Found."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —uh— that's never happened before. ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, ''{correctly types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' and I'll watch you do a little bit o'—

''{Email loads properly this time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —uh— that's never happened befo— oh wait, it's an email. That ''has'' happened before. And quite a few times if I remember correctly. All right, so...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
<br />
Respond to this E-Mail in the<br />
funniest way ever.<br />
<br />
From Sam</blockquote>

''{he reads "From Sam" as if the whole phrase was the emailer's name}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Let's see here... I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head ''{he doesn't actually type "blank"}'' and start talking gibberish and acting like the crazy squeaky guy. ''{clears screen}'' LEEKO! LEEKO! LEEKO! I'm a squeaky guy!

''{He jumps up on the table and starts dancing around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got squeaky pants! Come check out my squeaky pants dance! Squee squaw squee squaw squee squaw—

''{A bottle of ketchup falls from the ceiling into his hand and he starts flinging it over everything, while hitting the keyboard with his foot, producing "WOAH!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity pongity! Aunt Ruthie! Aunt Ruthie! There's ketchup on the computer! Halzee-WHOOP!

''{He leaps from the table backwards and starts spinning while bouncing around the floor on his head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER!

''{He runs up to Strong Sad and starts yelling rhyming gibberish at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jor Jee Jibbera Jaw! Huppidda Roopja Oop Jup Jaw! Ooka Oog

''{Strong Sad begins talking over him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Quit that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooka Reetoo Taw!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're freakin' me out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pauses shortly, then continues}'' Eeckoo Ickoo Ickoo Slaw! Hooka Hoo Ha!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you take some of my pills again?

''{Cut to Compy. Bubs and The Cheat are dipping fries in the ketchup poured over the computer.}''

'''BUBS:''' You know what? You're right, The Cheat! This computer catsup ''{pronounced kăt' səp}'' is better than the regular kind. Or that purple kind!

''{Strong Bad walks back in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right! Clear outta here, you two. 'Cept for you, The Cheat.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{grumbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better start cleaning this mess up!

'''BUBS:''' What happened in here? Some type of ketchup bomb go off?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, not really. I was answering an e-mail and dancing and acting like a squeaky guy and I started throwing ketchup everywhere.

'''BUBS:''' Oh. That's pretty cool.

''{Strong Bad does a double-take behind him to make sure nobody's around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce to Bubs}'' Hey, man, are ketchup bombs real?

'''BUBS:''' Not yet! ''{raises French fry and runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Well, aren't you gonna go get your 409 or Awesome Sauce or whatever you're gonna clean this up with?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{heads off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe a moist chamois? ''{pronounces "chamois" as "sham-oyce"}'' ''{tries a fry with the computer ketchup}'' Ooh! This computer ketchup ''is'' pretty good. Needs more RAM, though. Maybe a couple of megachips.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on Strong Bad's face (not head) while he is spinning upside down (the floppy disk itself does not work), Homestar will come out to say something funny. It may take a few tries to get it; you have to be quite quick. It's easier to get it with the Tab key and Enter.
:''{Homestar Runner walks in from the left. Strong Bad re-enters from the right, still bouncing on his head and spouting his gibberish.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh... Hi, Strong Bad. I was just stopping by to do something funny, but, um... I can see you don't need my help this week.
:''{Strong Bad bounces off to the left while Homestar looks on.}''

*At the very end you can click on a blob of ketchup near the left fries to see the bottle of [[Quite Fancy 'Chup]]. The labels read:

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000;width:90px">very<br>
many<br>
ounces</blockquote>

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000;width:90px">Quite<br>
Fancy<br>
'Chup</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explainations===
*A [[Wikipedia:chamois leather|chamois]] (sham-E) is a piece of leather used as a polishing cloth or in shirts. It is made from the goat antelope of the same name.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#odell lake|odell lake]]".

=== Remarks ===
*This is the first time that we see how Strong Bad eats.
*Strong Sad is depressed by nature as part of his character, but here it is actually implied that he may be ''clinically'' depressed — thereby explaining the reference to his "pills."
*The ketchup splatters in the last scene are shifted slightly downward in comparison to the previous computer room scene, and are more appropriately placed.

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad says, "Let's see here... I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head," he does not type "blank" on the computer.
*When Strong Bad takes the floppy, only one should remain to the left of the computer. Instead, two remain.
**At the end of the email, the floppys to the left of the Compy are gone.
*The Quite Fancy 'Chup image is cut off near the top, if you look closely it ends in a straight horizontal line near the topmost green shade of The Paper.
*Strong Bad's legs actually go through his body for one frame when he's walking at the scene where he tells Bubs and The Cheat to leave. This is best seen if you view the Flash file and stop the movie when Strong Bad walks up. Then watch the movie frame by frame from that point.
*The "reflected" disk we see in the monitor is not a mirror image of the ones we see after Strong Bad jumps on the desk.
*When Strong Bad tells Bubs to leave, one of The Cheat's arms is shaded a bit in black.
*When Strong Bad jumps up and down with the ketchup bottle, his foot types "WHOA!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!", yet due to the ketchup you can't see the 'e' in one and the 'fo' in foot. When he comes back to the computer later, you can see the 'e' in one.


=== Glitches ===
[[Image:funny floppy-contrast-goof.PNG|thumb|Magical floppy disk?]]
*When Strong Bad tapes the floppy disk to his head, the contrast dial does not affect its reflection, nor does it affect the reflection of his hand.

===Inside References===
*The sounds Strong Bad makes when he is next to Strong Sad are very similar to the ones from his email song in [[big white face]].
*Strong Bad typing in "stongbad_email.exe" is a reference to [[50 emails]], where one sender called Strong Bad "Stong Bad."
*Strong Bad typing with his foot is similar to how he types with his head in [[sisters]].

===Real-World References===
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=chamois Chamois] is actually pronounced "Shammy." Strong Bad pronounces it "Sham-oyce," like it is spelled, in an attempt to rhyme with "moist."
*The purple ketchup Bubs mentions is [[Wikipedia:H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz's]] [http://www.foodnavigator.com/news/news-ng.asp?id=41287-purple-ketchup-hits Funky Purple Ketchup].
*409 is a reference to [http://www.formula409.com/ Formula 409], a household cleaner/degreaser manufactured by [[Wikipedia:Clorox|Clorox]].
*"Catsup" is the correct way of saying ketchup in Spanish.

===Fast Forward===

*In [[technology]], it's clear that Strong Bad has forgotten that the 3 1/2 inch diskette is a floppy disk, and he refers to it as a "hard" disk.

== DVD Version ==
*The Homestar Easter egg is automatically enabled; no selecting is necessary to access it.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The pause between Strong Bad bouncing off the screen and bouncing back just before Homestar shows up is shorter.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here's the commentary track...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are we gonna do that kind of intro to all of them?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' As if they've just found this ''one'' one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Well, maybe.

'''MATT:''' So welcome to commentary if you accidentally—

'''MIKE:''' Can you turn on the commentary throughout? And it'll automatically—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think so, you just hit the "audio" button.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating newscaster}'' In case you've accidentally hit your "audio" button, you've just joined already in progress commentary track number eigh-ty...

'''MATT:''' Alright, sorry, I didn't know, let's start over.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm j'st kidding. No, no, this is great, this is great. We have nothing cool that has happened yet.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So "Leeko leeko leeko" is something Mike used to say when we'd uh, like, get when he'd get excited. And um, what game is in the thing there, right there? Oh, "Odell Lake." ''{Mike laughs}'' That was a great game for the old Apple II D that we played in school.

'''MIKE:''' Our cousin Jim used to say, "Fonkity fonkity."

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he'd hit himself in the head with a

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' wiffle-ball bat.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh, yeah. And he used to do that, too. ''{Matt laughs}'' He used to jump around on his head saying "pont-reer".

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's not true. That's not true.

'''MIKE:''' He's a very talented guy.

'''MATT:''' "Pont-reer" is just, uh, my generic, like uh, cartoon sound effect. It just seems like cartoons would just be like, "Pont-REER!" and then they'd do something. Oh, this is the best dance ever. Mike did this dance. I love it. And actually, this is sort of like, I think we've mentioned it before, but it's sort of like, uh— What he's saying, the weird chanting he's doing is kind of like this, uh, in that very stru— uh, Bugs Bunny episode we were talking about, where he's on the desert island. He does, like, a weird native dance and just kinda sounds like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ohhhh. Matt always throws in this stuff from old Looney Tunes that I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Well, I mean, it's sub— subconscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sure.

'''MATT:''' Don't sue me ''{Mike snickers}'', don't— I'm not, er, not plagiarizing.

'''MIKE:''' I love those little, uh, French fry trays.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The red and white checkerboarded ones...? I remember one time I made, uh, some Long John— I made, uh, the Long John Silver's trays, cardboard trays that the fries and stuff came in, were— looked like boats, and I played with them and they're all greasy and... ''{Matt chuckles}'' But I loved them.

'''MATT:''' Uh, there's really a cleaner called, uh, Awesome

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Awesome, yeah

'''MATT:''' ''{continues}'' right? Yeah, our friend Tobin got us, that he keep— we keep mentioning.

'''MIKE:''' Look, this is one of the few times that Strong Bad eats ever.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' It just disappears into his mouth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It— into his flesh mouth.

'''MATT:''' Couple of megachips. ''{Strong Bad in background says, "Maybe a couple of megachips"}'' That's what he said.

===Fun Facts===
*The [[Wikipedia:Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]] cartoon is [[IMDb:0036508|''Wackiki Wabbit'']], which was also referenced in [[island]].
*[[Wikipedia:Long John Silver's|Long John Silver's]] is a fast food restaurant specializing in seafood.

{{about|[[Characters|characters]]}} {{forshort|Cheat Commandos (toon)}}

The '''Cheat Commandos''' are an elite fighting force who, along with a civilian contractor named [[Reynold]], are dedicated to stopping the evil forces of [[Blue Laser]]. They all look somewhat like [[The Cheat]], seen as [[Firebert]] in the email [[army]]. All of the episodes of the [[TV Shows|TV series]] ''Cheat Commandos Adventures'' are written by [[A. Chimendez]], with the exception of ''Movie Night!'', which was written by A. Chimendez Jr. Each Cheat Commandos toon seems to parody a different facet of 1980s animated shows, such as the nonstop plugs for action figures and breakfast cereals, and rehashing as teaching aids. All of the Cheat Commandos [[Action Figure Character Variations|action figures]] are made by [[Cheap as Free#Toys|Cheap as Free Toys]], cost [[$11.01]], and are for ages 3-5.

[[Image:Gunhaver.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Gunhaver on patrol]]

A member of the [[Cheat Commandos]], '''Gunhaver''' (first name possibly "[[Let Us Give TANKS!#Trivia|Charles]]") seems to be the leader, although [[Flashfight]] may be the leader as well. Among his mission credits are leading an action figure storage vehicle attack on [[Blue Laser]], leading a search party to uncover Blue Laser's [[Secret Desert Headquarters|secret desert headquarters]], and staving off the danger of Blue Laser saving oodles of money at [[Price Style]].
He also makes a cameo in an Easter Egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].

Despite his name, (pronounced as "Gun Havver") and a claim on his box, Gunhaver had never been seen with a gun until [[Let Us Give TANKS!]]. Before that, it was seen hanging on the wall and labeled by [[Reynold]] in [[Shopping for Danger]].

Gunhaver is a direct parody of [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe#Characters|Duke]] from GI Joe, complete with a [[Wikipedia:John_Wayne|John Wayne]] voice.

Gunhaver may have a first name. In [[Let Us Give TANKS!]], [[Blue Laser]] calls him "Charles" when asking him to play a song.

Gunhaver is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].

Strong Bad

Forgottenhubcap: /* Variations */

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:MontageStrongBad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters on [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]]. He started out as the villain who always tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]; in an example of the [[Wikipedia:Fonzie syndrome|Fonzie Syndrome]], however, he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website. He answers [[Strong Bad Email|e-mails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling - he just doesn't seem to be worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

He is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|tormenting]] Strong Sad (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). All in all, he seems to dislike or positively loathe almost every character in the Homestar Runner Universe, with the notable exceptions of both The Cheat, his ever-diligent lackey, and [[Strong Mad]], his older brother.

He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in the [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|UMFM interview]]). His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. The blue diamond on his face may also give him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like psychokinesis as demonstrated in the Holiday special [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Strong Bad owns his own country, [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. Three-to-one-marny?") He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]'''

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unfazed with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says should be taken with a grain of salt. He seems to have a grudge against [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Wikipedia:Peter Frampton|Peter Frampton]] (though his opinion of Frampton is somewhat mixed). His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]], or was until Homestar shot Caleb. He also enjoys doing Jumble puzzles and baking. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "stuck in the 90's". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the 70s, and the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|Pretending to play better video games.]]
Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque]]". He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles as he often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and burns his bills with his [[BMW Lighter]].

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. He also hates old people and children, although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at his second secret home where he goes by the name Vance Mudgeman. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several cardboard props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [http://www.nba.com/nuggets/ Denver Nuggets] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
There is highly conflicting evidence towards Strong Bad's supposed strength. For the most part, it was continuously implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" was merely his name and not an accurate description. But in the Strong Bad Emails "[[car]]", "[[old comics]]", and "[[secret identity]]", Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar's lights out and literally toss both him and The King of Town out of his house, thus condradicting this claim. He can also easily pick up and carry the 42-pound [[Lappy 486]]. However, In the email "[[lady fan]]", the idea of Strong Bad being a weakling is supported yet again when he is unable to do a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do four. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", this fact may be purposely ambiguous, or that Strong Bad really is a complete weakling. He has [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] quite a few times, but it is unknown exactly how much The Cheat weighs (although it would seem that he is about 18 pounds, as seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]]) or how far Strong Bad kicked him, so it is debatable whether this factors into his strength or not.

== Fun Facts ==
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads".
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*Strong Bad has never closed his eyes completely, even when he is sleeping.
*He also has never completely closed his mouth, and he apparently has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to get more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several cardboard props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [http://www.nba.com/nuggets/ Denver Nuggets] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
There is highly conflicting evidence towards Strong Bad's supposed strength. For the most part, it was continuously implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" was merely his name and not an accurate description. But in the Strong Bad Emails "[[car]]", "[[old comics]]", and "[[secret identity]]", Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar's lights out and literally toss both him and The King of Town out of his house, thus condradicting this claim. He can also easily pick up and carry the 42-pound [[Lappy 486]]. However, In the email "[[lady fan]]", the idea of Strong Bad being a weakling is supported yet again when he is unable to do a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do four. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", this fact may be purposely ambiguous, or that Strong Bad really is a complete weakling. He has [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] quite a few times, but it is unknown exactly how much The Cheat weighs (although it would seem that he is about 18 pounds, as seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]]) or how far Strong Bad kicked him, so it is debatable whether this factors into his strength or not.

== Fun Facts ==
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads".
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*Strong Bad has never closed his eyes completely, even when he is sleeping.
*He also has never completely closed his mouth, and he apparently has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to get more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

2006-11-22T16:22:21Z

Forgottenhubcap: /* Leprechaun Strong Bad */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

=====A Helicopter=====
This helicopter attacked some [[The Birds|birds]] with machine guns. Surprisingly, this aircraft was the first object to harm living creatures in the entire series, yet its victims did not include one of the girls. [[Strong Bad]] supplied the rapid fire noise of its deadly projectiles.
|-

This person is found at the thrift store that [[What's Her Face]] shopped at, where she stays behind a rack of shirts, holding a sign that reads, "1 or 2 cent each item." In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] DVD commentary, Strong Bad says that she is a "homeless woman."
|-
|[[Image:Possum_Attack.PNG|150px|"Poooosssssummmmms...!"]] ||

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked What's Her Face as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

| [[Image:Pierced_Heart.PNG|150px|Cupid strikes back]] ||
=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Bretterson are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterman]] ||
=====Quarterback=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Giant_Brain_Mech|Giant Brain Mech]]. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed_Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||
=====Giant Brain Mech=====
The Giant Brain Mech is a giant brain with lips and an eye patch. It is apparently mechanical, because [[Arrow'd Guy]] can be seen controlling the brain under a glass dome. The brain CEREBELLUM'D! [[Cheerleader]] when the Quarterback suggested that she should go get some brains.

|-
|[[Image:perchingbird.png|150px|PERCH!]] ||
=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They can combine their sayings into a pretty cool jam. The spiky-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2004-03-08|Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Famous or Cool Guys.PNG|150px|Cool or famous]] ||

=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====
These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

|-
|[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|150px|Now with more 3-legged action!]] ||
=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[Lions|lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||
=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:hawiianguy.png|150px|Singing about babies]] ||

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle_carcass_half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

|-
|[[Image:squished_fatman.PNG|150px|Squished.]] ||
=====Fat Man=====
He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum. He bears a resemblance to pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy|King Kong Bundy]] and performs the [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy#Finishing and signature moves|Bundy Splash]], one of his signature moves.
|-
| [[Image:billbellamy.png|150px|The bell tolls for thee]] ||

=====Bill Bellamy=====
This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

|[[Image:TGS_Intercom.png|120px|Who's that hiding in the wheel?]] ||
=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

=====Learner's Permit Girl=====
This girl first appears in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. She is not a very good driver, and ends up DRiVER'S ED'ED...DEADing Cheerleader. On the plus side, she gives Strong Bad a ride to Babbage's. She also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

Science Fiction Greg is an old boyfriend of What's Her Face. ''See main article: [[Science Fiction Greg and D N'D Greg]].''
|-
|[[Image:SciFiGregPallies.PNG|152px|Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum]] ||

=====Friends of Science Fiction Greg=====
Putative friends of Science Fiction Greg. They listen patiently as he brags about his relationship with What's Her Face and his experience points. The character on the left bears a resemblance to an overweight character often found in Gary Larson's [[Wikipedia:Far Side|Far Side]] cartoons.

=====Vultures=====
When [[Mr. Pitters]] tries to join the Teen Girl Squad, these fiendish birds tell him that he "ain't no Teen Girl" before eating him at a fancy dinner. According to the second vulture, Mr. Pitters tastes "quite good, quite good." They may be an evolution of the vulture from Issue 2. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====Port-O-John=====
Port-O-John is a [[Wikipedia:portable toilet|portable outhouse]] that came to life by growing eyes, a nose, a moustache, a mouth, hands and feet. A sign on his side reads ''Johnny Rite There''. It put on a play with So and So once Cheerleader died in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. It didn't get very good reviews, however, and he is killed by [[Arrow'd Guy]].

Camp Counselor Shortshorts is trying really hard not to be thought of as a square by What's Her Face and The Ugly One by using random "youthful" quotes. He only succeeds in winning over the girls by singing a song with them. He then meets his end at the hands of Maniac in a Speedo.
|-
|[[Image:Bear.png|150px|He stapled it down!]] ||

=====Chumbly Wumbly Bear=====
The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is the subject of the song that the girls sing with the counselor. According to the song, he "came a tumblin' down." Also according to the song, he sold neither beans nor eggs - he couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't. Instead, he "stapled it down".

|-

=====Maniac in a Speedo=====
Maniac in a Speedo comes in at the end of the "Chumbly Wumbly Bear" song. As seen, he wears a paper bag to hide his face and uses a chainsaw to do his bidding. He cut The Ugly One and What's Her Face in half and did a number on Camp Counselor Shortshorts as well.

Seen in [[death metal]], Brainkrieg is a death metal band in [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination that seems to use all of the wrong "d-e" words in their song. They also frequently use the phrase "Jugga jigga wugga". They have a large, poorly drawn audience watching their performance. Cheerleader seems to be a fan—she comes for the wuggas, but stays for the jiggy juggas. They also received last place in The Battle of the Crappy High School Bands.

Forgottenhubcap: /* Issue 11 */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked What's Her Face as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her.

=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Bretterson are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterman]] ||
=====Quarterback=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Giant_Brain_Mech|Giant Brain Mech]]. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed_Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||
=====Giant Brain Mech=====
The Giant Brain Mech is a giant brain with lips and an eye patch. It is apparently mechanical, because [[Arrow'd Guy]] can be seen controlling the brain under a glass dome. The brain CEREBELLUM'D! [[Cheerleader]] when the Quarterback suggested that she should go get some brains.

=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They can combine their sayings into a pretty cool jam. The spiky-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2004-03-08|Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[Lions|lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||
=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle_carcass_half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who apparently has no hands.

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:MontageStrongBad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters on [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]]. He started out as the villain who always tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]; in an example of the [[Wikipedia:Fonzie syndrome|Fonzie Syndrome]], however, he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website. He answers [[Strong Bad Email|e-mails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling - he just doesn't seem to be worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

He is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|tormenting]] Strong Sad (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). All in all, he seems to dislike or positively loathe almost every character in the Homestar Runner Universe, with the notable exceptions of both The Cheat, his ever-diligent lackey, and [[Strong Mad]], his older brother.

He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in the [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|UMFM interview]]). His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. The blue diamond on his face may also give him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like psychokinesis as demonstrated in the Holiday special [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Strong Bad owns his own country, [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. Three-to-one-marny?") He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]'''

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unfazed with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says should be taken with a grain of salt. He seems to have a grudge against [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Wikipedia:Peter Frampton|Peter Frampton]] (though his opinion of Frampton is somewhat mixed). His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]], or was until Homestar shot Caleb. He also enjoys doing Jumble puzzles and baking. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "stuck in the 90's". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the 70s, and the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|Pretending to play better video games.]]
Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque]]". He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles as he often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and burns his bills with his [[BMW Lighter]].

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. He also hates old people and children, although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at his second secret home where he goes by the name Vance Mudgeman. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several cardboard props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [http://www.nba.com/nuggets/ Denver Nuggets] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
There is highly conflicting evidence towards Strong Bad's supposed strength. For the most part, it was continuously implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" was merely his name and not an accurate description. But in the Strong Bad Emails "[[car]]", "[[old comics]]", and "[[secret identity]]", Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar's lights out and literally toss both him and The King of Town out of his house, thus condradicting this claim. He can also easily pick up and carry the 42-pound [[Lappy 486]]. However, In the email "[[lady fan]]", the idea of Strong Bad being a weakling is supported yet again when he is unable to do a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do four. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", this fact may be purposely ambiguous, or that Strong Bad really is a complete weakling. He has [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] quite a few times, but it is unknown exactly how much The Cheat weighs (although it would seem that he is about 18 pounds, as seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]]) or how far Strong Bad kicked him, so it is debatable whether this factors into his strength or not.

== Fun Facts ==
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads".
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*Strong Bad has never closed his eyes completely, even when he is sleeping.
*He also has never completely closed his mouth, and he apparently has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to get more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

2006-11-22T16:03:50Z

Forgottenhubcap: /* Issue 1 */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked What's Her Face as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Bretterson are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].

The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They can combine their sayings into a pretty cool jam. The spiky-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2004-03-08|Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====
These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

|[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|150px|Now with more 3-legged action!]] ||
=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[Lions|lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||
=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-

=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum. He bears a resemblance to pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy|King Kong Bundy]] and performs the [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy#Finishing and signature moves|Bundy Splash]], one of his signature moves.
|-

This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

=====Friends of Science Fiction Greg=====
Putative friends of Science Fiction Greg. They listen patiently as he brags about his relationship with What's Her Face and his experience points. The character on the left bears a resemblance to an overweight character often found in Gary Larson's [[Wikipedia:Far Side|Far Side]] cartoons.

=====Vultures=====
When [[Mr. Pitters]] tries to join the Teen Girl Squad, these fiendish birds tell him that he "ain't no Teen Girl" before eating him at a fancy dinner. According to the second vulture, Mr. Pitters tastes "quite good, quite good." They may be an evolution of the vulture from Issue 2. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

Port-O-John is a [[Wikipedia:portable toilet|portable outhouse]] that came to life by growing eyes, a nose, a moustache, a mouth, hands and feet. A sign on his side reads ''Johnny Rite There''. It put on a play with So and So once Cheerleader died in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. It didn't get very good reviews, however, and he is killed by [[Arrow'd Guy]].

Both times he does so because they are "no place for a mighty warrior." After emerging from the corn chips, he lathe'd a spinning What's Her Face in two with his naginata. He also appeared in an Easter egg for [[myths & legends]], fighting the corn army.

=====Olympic Man and Coach=====
A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who apparently has no hands.

=====Scotsmen=====
This "uppaclass" trio of burly, bearded, kilted Scots were drinking a frothy brew from a keg marked "XXX" when they were interrupted by Cheerleader's flirtation. Predictably, she was rejected and caber-tossed only 23 metres away for her efforts.

One of [[Strong Bad]]'s many alter egos. He looks like an extremely chiseled construction worker. He makes an appearance when [[The Ugly One]] becomes hot, and Strong Bad imagines meeting her. After Sir Hotbod begins [[Making Out|making out]] with The Ugly One, Strong Bad himself begins to do the same to the piece of loose-leaf they were drawn on, much to the disgust of onlookers [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]], and [[The Cheat]].

The Shirt Folding Store Manager is So and So's manager at Shirt Folding Store. She is rude to So and So, calls her "Mark" and tells her to "get to minimum wagin'".

A customer at Shirt Folding Store. He needs a present for his wife for their anniversary. He coughs so much that So and So thinks that the present is for his coughiversary. Eventually he coughs up a stadium complete with spectators and announcer, and he feels it necessary to point out that this is not his wife.

=====Camp Counselor Shortshorts=====
Camp Counselor Shortshorts is trying really hard not to be thought of as a square by What's Her Face and The Ugly One by using random "youthful" quotes. He only succeeds in winning over the girls by singing a song with them. He then meets his end at the hands of Maniac in a Speedo.
|-

=====Chumbly Wumbly Bear=====
The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is the subject of the song that the girls sing with the counselor. According to the song, he "came a tumblin' down." Also according to the song, he sold neither beans nor eggs - he couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't. Instead, he "stapled it down".

|-
|[[Image:ManiacInASpeedo.png|150px|Speedo'd!]] ||

=====Maniac in a Speedo=====
Maniac in a Speedo comes in at the end of the "Chumbly Wumbly Bear" song. As seen, he wears a paper bag to hide his face and uses a chainsaw to do his bidding. He cut The Ugly One and What's Her Face in half and did a number on Camp Counselor Shortshorts as well.

=====Brainkrieg=====
Seen in [[death metal]], Brainkrieg is a death metal band in [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination that seems to use all of the wrong "d-e" words in their song. They also frequently use the phrase "Jugga jigga wugga". They have a large, poorly drawn audience watching their performance. Cheerleader seems to be a fan—she comes for the wuggas, but stays for the jiggy juggas. They also received last place in The Battle of the Crappy High School Bands.

'''Running Time:''' 4:01

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386?? Not No More.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
What would you like as if you were your own made up<br />
animal<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{[[Powered by The Cheat Character Variations|a fish version of The Cheat]] swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This email was sent by [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[Computer Room|computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*In the Powered by The Cheat section with the fangly fish, when the The Cheat fish swims past it goes between the fangly fish and the christmas lights.

===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in the [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*[[Style|"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles."]]

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE].
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes. The sound was created on the Brothers Chaps' Casio VL-Tone keyboard, using the "Funny" preset. The first note is the lowest C, the second note a C one octave higher.
*Sterrance's feet look remarkably like the feet of Mickey Mouse.
*The way Strong Bad describes Lappy is in the style of many game shows.
*The Lappy's logo is a reference to the Apple Powerbook's logo.


*The word "color" in "'Several' color monitor" is the same font and color as the symbol for the Game Boy Color.
*"Babies Having Babies" is a 1988 hit by Terry Tate; as well as an [[IMDB:tt0088759|After School Special]] on ABC in 1986.
*"Brother pitted against brother" is a term used to describe civil war. It originated in the Bible as a description of the end times.
* Styles Upon Styles is a reference to a lyric from "Buggin' Out", a song on the seminal 1991 album "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_End_Theory The Low End Theory]" by hip-hop group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Tribe_Called_Quest A Tribe Called Quest].

===Fast-Forward===
*[[Styles Upon Styles]] is later mentioned in [[modeling]].
*Both Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance reappear in [[alternate universe]] along with other Strong Bad-related faces.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.

[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]]
[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]
[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]

'''The Cheat''' whose name includes the [[Integral Article|integral article]], is at knee-height (1' 2" ''et'' 18lb.), and covered with yellow fuzz. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his interview. He speaks entirely in a language of [[Deliberately Poor English#A Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is what you could call [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] "sidekick" and [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] best friend. [[Coach Z]] calls him "The Chort". He also reminds [[Strong Bad]] of a duck (email [[lunch special]]). [[Strong Bad]] celebrates his birthday on the only day he knows it isn't: [[cheatday|April 18]].

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred at times (as seen near the end of [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (he is discovered behind a Strong Bad mask), and [[caper]].

The Cheat is an amateur Flash animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos on his orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and unappreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[Trophies|trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many instruments; he plays the piano and [[The Cheat's keyboard|keyboard]] (from [[Everybody Knows It]], [[sibbie]], and [[Strong Bad Sings]], and referenced in [[guitar]]), the drums (in the toon [[Cool Things]] and [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), guitar, (also in [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]]. He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. His less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Characters' Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''.

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad, probably tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[Eggs|egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. Apparently he normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well (for a The Cheat). Apparently, as explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet.

The Cheat also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no apparent lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's anatomy provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (ie [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]] or [[Happy Fireworks|when agitated]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks.

The Cheat also had a recent battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[Suudsu|suudsu]] and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used.

As a side note, no one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. This is strange, because if the events in [[flashback]] are true, then The Cheat would have been "born" on the day he came out of the egg.

The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]].

== Biography ==
[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]]
[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]
[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]

'''The Cheat''' whose name includes the [[Integral Article|integral article]], is at knee-height (1' 2" ''et'' 18lb.), and covered with yellow fuzz. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his interview. He speaks entirely in a language of [[Deliberately Poor English#A Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is what you could call [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] "sidekick" and [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] best friend. [[Coach Z]] calls him "The Chort". He also reminds [[Strong Bad]] of a duck (email [[lunch special]]). [[Strong Bad]] celebrates his birthday on the only day he knows it isn't: [[cheatday|April 18]].

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred at times (as seen near the end of [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (he is discovered behind a Strong Bad mask), and [[caper]].

The Cheat is an amateur Flash animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos on his orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and unappreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[Trophies|trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many instruments; he plays the piano and [[The Cheat's keyboard|keyboard]] (from [[Everybody Knows It]], [[sibbie]], and [[Strong Bad Sings]], and referenced in [[guitar]]), the drums (in the toon [[Cool Things]] and [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), guitar, (also in [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]]. He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. His less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Characters' Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''.

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad, probably tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[Eggs|egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. Apparently he normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well (for a The Cheat). Apparently, as explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet.

The Cheat also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no apparent lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's anatomy provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (ie [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]] or [[Happy Fireworks|when agitated]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks.

The Cheat also had a recent battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[Suudsu|suudsu]] and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used.

As a side note, no one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. This is strange, because if the events in [[flashback]] are true, then The Cheat would have been "born" on the day he came out of the egg.

The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]].

A member of the [[Cheat Commandos]], '''Gunhaver''' (first name possibly "[[Let Us Give TANKS!|Charles]]") seems to be the leader, although [[Flashfight]] may be the leader as well. Among his mission credits are leading an action figure storage vehicle attack on [[Blue Laser]], leading a search party to uncover Blue Laser's [[Secret Desert Headquarters|secret desert headquarters]], and staving off the danger of Blue Laser saving oodles of money at [[Price Style]].
He also makes a cameo in an Easter Egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].

Despite his name, (pronounced as "Gun Havver") and a claim on his box, Gunhaver had never been seen with a gun until [[Let Us Give TANKS!]]. Before that, it was seen hanging on the wall and labeled by [[Reynold]] in [[Shopping for Danger]].

Gunhaver is a direct parody of [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe#Characters|Duke]] from GI Joe, complete with a [[Wikipedia:John_Wayne|John Wayne]] voice.

Gunhaver may have a first name. In [[Let Us Give TANKS!]], [[Blue Laser]] calls him "Charles" when asking him to play a song.

{{about|[[Characters|characters]]}} {{forshort|Cheat Commandos (toon)}}

The '''Cheat Commandos''' are an elite fighting force who, along with a civilian contractor named [[Reynold]], are dedicated to stopping the evil forces of [[Blue Laser]].

Chimendez]], with the exception of ''Movie Night!'', which was written by A.

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' November 29, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 4:01

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386?? Not No More.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
What would you like as if you were your own made up<br />
animal<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{[[a fish version of The Cheat]] swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This email was sent by [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[Computer Room|computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*In the Powered by The Cheat section with the fangly fish, when the The Cheat fish swims past it goes between the fangly fish and the christmas lights.

===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in the [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*[[Style|"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles."]]

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE].
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes. The sound was created on the Brothers Chaps' Casio VL-Tone keyboard, using the "Funny" preset. The first note is the lowest C, the second note a C one octave higher.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386?? Not No More.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
What would you like as if you were your own made up<br />
animal<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This email was sent by [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[Computer Room|computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*In the Powered by The Cheat section with the fangly fish, when the The Cheat fish swims past it goes between the fangly fish and the christmas lights.

===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386?? Not No More.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
What would you like as if you were your own made up<br />
animal<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{[[Image:TheCheatfish.jpg|A fish version of The Cheat]] swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word 'cuter' to show a small movie of Homestar's head on a lure next to the dancing girl in a dance club.
:''{The Homestar lure and the dancing woman are at a disco, Powered by The Cheat style. Two disco balls hang from the ceiling and a rough approximation of music is playing.}''
:'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Hey there, Baby Styles. This is a nice dancing club, right? Do you have a phone at your house?
*Click on the words 'The Cheat' to see what the runners-up get.
:''{Cut to the pedestal of The Show again. The fanglyfish is on it.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Second-place contestants receive deep sea fanglyfish. Promotional considerations by Sterrance. Strong Bad's wardrobe furnished by Styles Upon Styles. ''{Some text appears on the screen reading:}''
<pre>MR. BAD'S WARDROBE
PROVIDED BY
Styles
Upon
Styles</pre>
'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This email was sent by [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[Computer Room|computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few references to Christmas on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*In the Powered by The Cheat section with the fangly fish, when the The Cheat fish swims past it goes between the fangly fish and the christmas lights.

===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in the [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*[[Style|"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles."]]

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE].
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes. The sound was created on the Brothers Chaps' Casio VL-Tone keyboard, using the "Funny" preset. The first note is the lowest C, the second note a C one octave higher.
*Sterrance's feet look remarkably like the feet of Mickey Mouse.
*The way Strong Bad describes Lappy is in the style of many game shows.
*The Lappy's logo is a reference to the Apple Powerbook's logo.


*The word "color" in "'Several' color monitor" is the same font and color as the symbol for the Game Boy Color.
*"Babies Having Babies" is a 1988 hit by Terry Tate; as well as an [[IMDB:tt0088759|After School Special]] on ABC in 1986.
*"Brother pitted against brother" is a term used to describe civil war. It originated in the Bible as a description of the end times.
* Styles Upon Styles is a reference to a lyric from "Buggin' Out", a song on the seminal 1991 album "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_End_Theory The Low End Theory]" by hip-hop group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Tribe_Called_Quest A Tribe Called Quest].

===Fast-Forward===
*[[Styles Upon Styles]] is later mentioned in [[modeling]].
*Both Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance reappear in [[alternate universe]] along with other Strong Bad-related faces.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.
